THE 
SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION 

Scene. — Chair placed sideways l., sofa sideways 
R.,L. of chair a small table with ash-tray and news- 
paper. Looking-glass R. hack. Window middle 
back.) 

Husband discovered restlessly pacing up and down, 
from time to time looking anxiously out of window. 
He starts at a sound and turns quickly towards the 
door. His Wife bursts in like a whirl-wind. She 
is immacidately dressed, hut carries a dilapidated 
umbrella with most of the ribs protruding through the 
silk. He steps towards her joyfully as though to 
embrace her. 

Husband (approaching the door and beginning to 
speak before she enters). Effie — ^I've been so anxious — 

I was afraid that (He stops short, frozen by the 

glare of indignation that she turns upon him.) 

Wife (with the utmost anger). How dare you ? I'll 
never forgive you for this. 

Husband (quietly). Ah — I see. 

Wife. How dare you, after what I told you las t 
time. I'll never forgive you, I tell you. (A very 
brief pause, she throws her umbrella on the sofa.) 

Husband (quietly). For what am I not to be 
forgiven ? 

Wife. Don't stand and lie to me. I know it was 
you did it, and it's no good trying to deceive me. 

Husband. Then I won't. (Seats himself l. and 
picks up newspaper.) 



6 THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 

Wife [stepping quickly io him, snatching away news- 
paper and throwing it on the ground). Understand 
this. I'll never, never, forgive you. 

Husband. I have gathered as much. {Takes 
out his cigarette-case, she snatches it away and tosses 
it on to sofa.) 

Wife. Oh, I'll punish you for this. {Walks furi- 
ously away from. him.) 

Husband {raising his eyebrows). You will? 

Wife (turning hack). I'll make you repent it. 
This is the second time you've made a laughing-stock 
of me. 

Husband {unmoved). Is it ? 

Wife. The second time you've disgraced me. 

(H^usband nod.s gravely.) 

The second time you've held me up before the whole 
world as an object of shame, degradation and igno- 
miny. 

Husband. Finished ? 

Wife {with culminating denunciaiion) . And this, 
in spite of the warning I gave you last time. You 
brute — how dare you ? — How dare you pay my 
line and prevent me remaining in prison. 

(.4 pause.) 

Husband. I'm a low scoundrel [He rises 

and fetches his cigarette-case.) 

(Wife casts an angry glance at him and going to sofa, 
seats herself. Husband goes hack l., seats himself, 
and taking out a cigarette, speaks again in chatty 
tones.) 

How are things looking up at Hollow ay ? 

(Wife makes no answer. He taps the cigarette against 
his palm.) 



THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 7 

They haven't shaved your head, I see. 

(Wife regards him ivith contempt. He gropes for his 
matches.) 

Husband. By the way, I'm told that the prison 
bath 

Wife. You are very vulgar. 

Husband {taking out a match). Honestly, now, 
Effie, if only the prison authorities shaved every 
suffragette's head, how long do you think the move- 
ment would last ? 

[Pause. Wife gives him. a glance of angry contempt.) 

By the way, have you had luneh ? 

Wife. Yes. 

Husband. Oh, did it work all right? 

Wife. What ? 

Husband (with descriptive gesture). The — the 
tube ! 

Wife. If you think that by cracking vulgar jokes 
you are going to make me forget your disgusting and 
underhand behaviour in scheming to get me out of 
prison, you are very much mistaken. 

Husband {having lit his cigarette). Sheer abduc- 
tion, isn't it ? 

Wife {moving the umbrella to the other end of sofa). 
To think that I am married, chained forhfe, to a con- 
ventional creature hke this — I, with my ideals — my 

enthusiasm for the cause, my gift of speech 

{the act of moving umbrella disconnects her ideas), my 
capacity for — for 

Husband {glancing at the umbrella). Slogging the 
Metropolitan police with umbrellas. 

Wife {after regarding him for a moment with dis- 
gust). They deserved it. They handled us brutally. 
You may sit there and take the whole thing as a joke. 
Perhaps you are not aware that I was virtually tram- 
pled underfoot by a whole regiment of snorting 
policemen's horses. 



8 THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 

Husband {with assumed perplexity). What were 
the policemen snorting for ? 

Wife {sharply). The horses were snorting. 

Husband {laboriously enlightened). 0-oh — were 
they snorting much ? 

Wife. Yes. (Quickly.) No! {Quickly.) What 
are you talking about ? What's that got to do with 
it? 

Husband {cheerfully). I dunno. 

Wife {after casting an exasperated glance at him). 
Yes, ruthlessly trampled under foot by snor — by 
rnoimted policemen, while men — creatures that would 
call themselves men — stood by and allowed the pohce 
to drag us off to prison like felons. 

Husband {crossing his legs). And other men — 
earthworms laying claim to that title — were callous 
and brutal enough to pay your fines and get you out 
again. 

Wife {after opening her mouth to speak several times 
and each time thinking better of it). I will not attempt 
to argue with you. You are incapable of under- 
standing. 

Husband. No logical sense. 

Wife. I suppose you think I like being in prison. 

Husband. How could I be so unreasonable. 
Wliat about your gratitude for being got out again ? 

Wife. That's just where you fail to understand. 
To be in prison is an unspeakable torture to me. But 
I am ready to suffer it all gladly for the sake of the 
cause. {Rising with an access of anger.) And how 
dare you — how dare you prevent me from doing it ? 

Husband {reflectively). Legal cruelty — what do 
you think ? 

Wife {rhetorically). How different —how utterly 
different was the behaviour of that noble man, Mr. 
Blenkinsop-Garland, under the same circumstances . 
Did he fear the opinion of Society when his wife wa s 
sent to Holloway ? Did he tremble at the jocula r 
comments of blatant clubmen ? No. What did he 



THE SUFFRAGETTES REDEMPTIOX. 9 

do ? He bravely faced the hatred and ridicule of the 
world and in his pride of his wife's heroism — publicly 
announced in the newspapers that he would pay the 
Women's Suffrage Fund five pounds for every day 
that she remained in prison. (.4 brief pause, she 
remains standing, overcome by her own oratory.) 

Husband. How long did his holiday last ? 

Wife (she looks at him angrily, then turns to sweep 
out of the room. After taking a few steps she turns 
back again and addresses him indignantly). If you 
imagine that I'm going to allow this kind of thing you 
are m^aking a great mistake. A nice state of affairs 
if a wom.an can't go to prison without this brutal 
interference. I will not have my fines paid against 
my will. I will not be ruthlessly evicted from Hollo- 
way. 

Husband {quietly). Aren't you rather taking 
something for granted ? 

Wife (speaking in a very low, level, half-interro- 
gative tone). What d'you mean ? 

Husband. What are you so angry about ? 

Wife (as before). What do you mean ? 

Husband. Isn't it rather an assumption on your 
part that it was I who paid your fine ? 

Wife. What, do you mean to 

Husband. And that it wasn't your Uncle Henry ? 

Wife. Then it wasn't you ? 

Husband. You see, I remembered very well how 
angry you were last time. (Extending a hand towards 
her.) Now, come and kiss me and say you're sorry 
you were so unjust. 

Wife (looks at him witJi utmost astonishment with- 
out moving. A pause. Then slowly) You were 
going to let me stop in prison then ? 

Husband. That's what you wanted, wasn't it ? 
You told me last time you'd never forgive me if I 
didn't. 

Wife. Of course — I — ^I — I of course I didn't 

like — that is to say, I (She stops in confusion, 



10 THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 

then suddenly breaks out luith indignation) Oh, you 
brute. 

Husband (sitting erect). Eh ! 

Wife [hysterically). You were going to let me stop 
in prison. I expect you were glad to have me out of 
the way. Oh, I'll never forgive you. (She throws her- 
self on to the sofa and turns her face from him.) 

Husband. You refuse to forgive me whatever I 
do, as far as I can see. 

Wife (glancing up). Don't speak to me. No 
wonder you seemed so sorry to see me back. You 
don't love me any more. I knew you'd changed. 
I've seen it coming on for a long time. 

(A brief pause. She has turned away from hi?n again. 
H USBAND rises, puts down his cigarette and goes over 
to her ; she speaks again.) 

Don't come near me. I don't want you. 

Husband (seating himself beside her and putting 
his arm round her). Effie ! 

Wife (throwing his arm off). Go away. I don't 
want you. 

Husband (gravely). Eifie — it was / who paid the 
fine. (A brief pause. Wife remains motionless. 
He puts his arm round her and speaks again.) Effie — I 
paid the line. 

Wife (sitting up and looking at him). It was you 
then? 

Husband. Yes. 

Wife (with some hostility). Then why did you say 
it wasn't ? 

Husband. 1 didn't say so. I asked if you weren't 
taking it too much for granted. 

(A brief pause. Wife rises and speaks in offended 
tones.) 

Wife. I suppose you thought it funny to upset 
me like that ? 

Husband. You weren't exactly delighted at my 



THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. ]] 

having paid the fine, so I thought I'd see if you'd be 
better pleased if I hadn't. 

Wife (scathingly). Very clever of you iiideed. 
What a splendid victory for you. 

Husband. Oh, my dear girl, why 

Wife [b^'eaking in on him with the utmost decision). 
As a matter of fact, you ought not to have paid the 
hne. 

Husband (suddenly losing self-control and leaping 
to his feet). What do you VN^ant ? W^hat do you want ? 
(Approaching her and shaking one raised and open hand 
im potently in the air.) Can you — in heaven's name— 
tell me what woidd have satisfied you ? 

Wife {unperturbed and confident^). You ought to 
have been so absolutely miserable and heartbroken at 
my being in prison a 3 to find it sim.ply impossible to 
refrain from paying my fine, and you ought by the 
exercise of an enormous sacrifice to have refrained 
from paying it in spite of that. 

Husband (drily). I never thought of that. I must 
do that next time. 

Wife (with superiority). That's what I should 
have done if I'd been you, but it's no good going into 
that question because you couldn't possibly be me, 
however much I might be you — which proves plainly 
that women ought to have votes. 

Husband (after regarding her as she speaks with 
growing comic amazement, sitting down l. and pulling 
up the legs of his trousers). Efiie, I give in. Get your 
vote by any means you can — and with your faculty 
for using something that has no meaning to prove 
something that has no importance they'll make you 
Prime Minister. 

Wife (with satisfaction, seating herself on sofa again). 
I think we women can hold our own. 

Husband. And a great deal more. 

Wife. Well, I'm still angry with you, of course for 
paying my fine — but — all things considered, I shall 
forgive you. (As an after-thought.) 1 mean, partly 



12 THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 

forgive you — -^ {another after-thought) in a way • 

{another after- thought) and this time only. 
Husband {drily). You overwhelm me. 
Wife. Because there is going to be another great 
march upon the House of Commons this afternoon, 
and now, of course I shall be able to be there. 

Husband {a brief pause. Husband approaches 
her, and addresses her gravely). Efhe, to please me, 
don't join this business this afternoon. 

Wife. Good heavens, Dick. How can you be so 
selfish ! Am I to think of you always and never of 
the cause ? 

Husband. No, think of the cause — as you call it — 
as much as you like. Only occasionally take me into 
account as well, that's all I'm asking you. After all, 
you must bear in mind that if you march on the House 
to-day, you will again attain your ambition of prison 
and I shall again be deprived of your society. 

Wife {rising). That is a sacrifice that must be 
made for the cause. {She picks up umbrella and turns 
to go.) 

Husband. I see. Then you insist on going ? 
Wife {moving back). It is my duty. 
Husband. Which is m.ore important than your 
love for me ? 

W^ife. Love, my dear Dick, is not the all-import- 
ant thing to us women that you imagine. Love and 
its attendant feelings must never be allowed to inter- 
fere with Duty. {Flourishing the umbrella.) I march 
on the House of Commons this afternoon-. 
(H USBAND nods, takes up his cigarette again, and seat- 
in himself l. picks tip the paper. She turns again 
and begins to go out, stopping to look at herself as she 
goes in the glass. He lights his cigarette again, 
watches her thoughtf idly , then with a sly smile — it is 
essential that this sly smile of the Husband's shoidd 
be well brought home to the audience. Re should 
dart several glances at his wife, and repeat the smile 
after each. — As she reaches the door he speaks.) 



THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 13 

Husband. By the way, before you get sent to 
prison again, what did you do with the key of the 
store-cupboard ? 

Wife {pausing tlwughtfully with her back turned to 
him). Oh, the key. Do you want it ? 

Husband {after making a sly grimace). Lady Dil- 
hngham wants it. {He watches her slyly, straighten- 
ing his face immediately as she slews round.) 

Wife {starting and slewing round and speaking z&ith 
quick decision). Lady DilHngham ? {Suspiciously.) 
Has she been here ? 

Husband {nonchalantly). Oh, of course, I for- 
got to tell you. She's been managing the servants 
and the house generally while you've been in prison. 
I don't know what I should have done without her. 
{He pretends to read the paper, grimacing slyly behind 
it.) 

Wife {advancing slowly). Lady Dillingham has 
been managing my house ? 

Husband {lowering the paper and speaking luith en- 
thusiasm). Yes, I can't tell you how kind and sym- 
pathetic she's been to me. She says I can depend on 
her whenever you're in prison. Lady DiUingham's 
come out in a really fine light over this business — 
absolutely sacrificed herself for us. {Same business 
with newspaper.) 

Wife {coldly). Has she indeed ? W'hat about her 
duty to her own husband, I should like to know. 

Husband. Oh, she had to go back to him in the 
evenings, of course. {With feeling.) I say, that man 
DiUingham is a selfish brute, you know. 

Wife {with great coldness). Is he ? 

Husband. Actually sulks at his wife lending us a 
helping Jiand. {With great enthusiasm) Now, what 
earthly help can all her charming quahties of sym- 
pathy and all that be to him while he's in the City ? 
That's what I want to know. 

Wife {hotly). I think it's abominable impudence of 
Lady DilHngham. 



14 THE SUFFRAGETTES REDEMPTION. 

Husband. Oh, come, Effie, that's very ungrate- ' 
fill. She's simply sacrificed herself for me,, or rather 
for us. 

Wife (after opening her lips to speak hotly and check- 
ing herself. After a brief pause, speaking quickly). 
Why did you wait two days before you paid the fine ? 

Husband. Ah, there's an instance. I wanted 
to go and get you out of prison immediately, but Lady 
Dillingham wouldn't hear of it. She said I had no 
right to interfere with your principles and that she 
quite sympathized with you in your noble resolution 
not to have your fine paid. She said you'd be very 
angry with me if I did it again. 

(Wife opens her lips to speak, he continues quickly, 
and with great emphasis.) 

And of course, she was right. {With mock humility 
leaning towards her) But I do hope she'll forgive. me, 
dear. 

{A brief pause. Wife is impotently silent, HusBx\nd 
raises newspaper again. Same b us. Wife seats her- 
self on sofa andii)ith an effort speaks calmly.) 

Wife. If you thought it would make me angry, 
why did you go and pay the fine at all ? 

Husband (after a brief pause, speaking with a pre- 
tence of embarrassment). To tell the truth, 1 didn't go. 

Wife {in a tone that is outraged rather than surprised) . 
You didn't go ? And you said that 

Husband. Oh, I supplied the money — but it was 
Dillingham himself who went to Holloway and paid 
the fine. (Same business with newspaper.) 

Wife (with a gasp). Dillingham ? 

Husband. Yes, he said it was on his way to the 
City. Do you know, that man simply insisted on 
your being got out of prison, although his wife kept 
on telling him how angry you'd been last time. 
{With mock earnestness, leaning forward, holding the 



THE SUFFRAGETTE'S REDEMPTION. 15 

newspaper) You musn't be annoyed with him, 
dear, I am sure he meant it for the best. You will 
forgive him, won't you ? 

Wife. Oh. I {Recovering herself.) I wish 

you wouldn't rustle that newspaper like that. It 
gets on my nerves. 

Husband. Sorry, dear. By the way, what time 
is the procession this afternoon ? 

Wife. I don't know. 

Husband. Because I promnsed Lady DiUingham 
I'd take her to see it. She's gone back to dress. 
She's been so kind to us, I think we might make some 
return. {He buries himself in his paper again.) 

(Wife opens her mouth several times to speak, but 
refrains. A very long pause while she fights with 
her feelings.) 

■ Wife {suppressing her emotions). I suppose then — ■ 
if it hadn't been — for that man— I should still be in 
prison. 

Husband {decisively laying aside his paper). No, 
dear. {He rises, lays down cigarette, goes over to her 
and seating himself beside her, addresses her tenderly.) 
It was so beastly without you, even with Lady Dil- 
lingham to cheer me up, that if Dilhngham hadn't 
insisted when he did I should have taken the responsi- 
bihty and gone myself in spite of all you said to me 
last time. {Putting his arm round her.) Darling, 
must you join the procession this afternoon ? 

Wife. Well, I'm sure I don't know whether 
—whether {She hesitates.) 

Husband. Come to a matinee v/ith me instead. 

Wife {with a glance at him). But you'll be desert- 
ing Lady Dilhngham. 

Husband. Oh, Lord, I forgot. Do you know, 
dear, when we're really happy together, 1 seem to 
forget everybody else, even people who seem awfully 
nice vv^lien I haven't got you. {Rising.) Hang Lady 
Dillingham. Come to the theatre.

Wife. Well, if you really want me to 

Husband (stooping and kissing her). I'll telephone 
for seats. 

[Glances at watch.) 

Wife (rising). As for Lady Dillingham, if she's 
so interested in the procession she can go and join it 
herself. 

Husband. Quite right — let her join it herself 
and go to 

(Breaks off.) 

Wife (smiling). Where ? 
Husband. Holloway. 

(They embrace.)
